Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coastal environments are controlled and influenced by numerous natural and human-induced factors that can generate negative consequences exacerbated by the influence of climate change. At the global level, most of the population and economic activities are located along coastal areas. There is a strong need to efficiently monitor coastal systems to improve knowledge of the processes that control their evolution and to enable improve current and future coastal management.
The morphologies of coastal areas are extremely diverse, and their dynamic behaviour constrains the use of traditional coastal monitoring methods due to their low temporal resolution and/or limited spatial coverage. Remote sensing techniques have already proven to be able to overcome these problems by enabling the development of large datasets that can be used to describe the evolution of coastal areas worldwide.
This Special Issue aims to explore new techniques for monitoring geomorphological changes and processes in coastal areas. Studies that cover recent advancements in EO data processing methodologies, techniques, and future developments are welcome, as are studies focused on, but not limited to, the following aspects:
- Remote-sensing-based shoreline detection and evolution analysis;
- Erosion and accretion processes induced by hydrodynamic conditions;
- Coastal sediment dynamics, including river–coast connectivity;
- Morphological changes and evolution of dune systems;
- Short- and long-term evolution of coastal wetlands;
- Rocky coast dynamics;
- Integration of remote sensing datasets for long-term studies of coastal evolution;
New remote sensing tools for coastal studies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
